When I started out as a lawyer 28 years ago, I was fortunate to get to practice in the personal injury area of the law at The Governor Joseph P. Teasdale Law Firm in Kansas City, Missouri. At that time, the Hyatt skywalk collapse had occurred and the Governor’s firm represented several of the horribly injured tea dance attendees. From that first experience in helping those injured in a terrible accident, I knew this was the area of law I was meant to practice. I knew this was how I could make a difference in people’s lives, especially as this was a time when they needed help.

Since then, I have broadened my legal experience, in both civil and criminal law.

I moved to St. Louis in 1984 to be with and then marry my husband, Bob.

In St. Louis, I went to work at a general practice firm. After a while, I wanted more time in the courtroom so I became an Assistant Public Defender in St. Louis County. I enjoyed the fast pace and the litigation expertise that I gained there.

Then I was offered an opportunity to join the litigation department of Selner, Glaser, Komen. I expanded and honed my skills in the personal injury practice. I worked there for many years before taking my knowledge and experience to my own practice where my focus was to help those injured in accidents receive the compensation they deserved.

In each of my job settings, I have learned much and worked hard to strengthen my skills and knowledge in order to serve my clients. I take my responsibility to my clients very seriously.

I look forward to meeting and helping you when you come in to Brown & Crouppen.
